Description
Thunder Point is a small buttress reminiscent of British Gritstone in its stature, style, and surrounding scenery.
Aside from the worthwhile 11+ bolted arete, the value of Thunder Point lies in its collection of 5.6 to 5.8 trad climbs---which are all well-protected and uniquely engaging.
There is a lavish belay ledge at the top with plenty of options for gear anchors, as well as an easy walk-off trail that leads back to the stone staircase trail.
Thunder Point is a nice counterpoint to the rest of Upper Dream Canyon and a great place to practice trad skills.
